Reducing my presence to minimum -

There is a project that is an offshoot of sorts- an idea by Grumman that the Chinese say is their own. In the Chinese defence, they did bring it to fruition; but the F-7G variant with the double delta is the brainstorm of a Grumman engineer whilst finalizing the concept of the Sabre-II

Can I request to put your input asap and as much as you can

The twin-seat variant of the JF-17 has conducted its maiden flight . Co-developed by Pakistan and China for use by the Pakistan Air Force, the JF-17B also utilises a dorsal fin containing an additional fuel tank, giving the twin-seater a fuel load comparable to the single-seat variant. Images of the fighter also show the addition of a vertical stabiliser, a larger size, and that it rises at a shallower angle from its predecessor. Flight testing of the low-cost fighter had initially been scheduled for late 2016, but Chinese sources have not given any reason for the delay.

On April 27, the first prototype of the twin-seat JF-17B Thunder multi-role fighter performed its maiden flight at Chengdu, China.

This version was unveiled by CAC/CATIC at the 2013 Paris Air Show and thereafter the design evolved in several detail respects. Most obviously, the new aircraft features not only a second cockpit and a spine accommodating the relocated avionics, but it also has a slightly taller and more prominently swept tailfin. Overall the JF-17B is based on the current JF-17A Block II configuration that also features an in-flight refuelling probe.

Manufacture of the first (01) prototype was initiated in May 2016 and was reportedly complete by December 2016. Reports prior to its maiden flight suggest that a first taxi-test was performed on April 21, 2017. Andreas Rupprecht
